No, but according to Car and Driver, May 1998, we'll be seeing the Civic Type R here in the U.S. 'any day now!'

Paitence..

Probably because, most of the time they write complete bullshit.

 

I don't think honda will ever make a turbo consumer car. They want to be known as the reliable, good gas mileage car company.

And plus they leave it up to us to boost them. Honda-tech home of boosted hondas some reliable, SHITTY gas mileage, ***** to the wall power

 

yeah true...dont listen to an import magazine unless they present solid evidence to back it up.

 

lol. thats what i was thinking. its in the new import tuner magazine though.

 

What ever happened to all of the shitty econoboxes that get 70000mpg?

Seems like all the manufactures are making their shitty cars faster in stock form.

Are all of the '06 civics getting the R motor, or are some getting the K? Is the R motor the new D series with the same gas mileage and power output? Or is it supposed to be fast-ish?

 

i read about that too.. and i also work for a honda-acura dealership as a salesman... they are talking about putting a boosted motor in the an Acura version of the CRV... doubt it will ever make it to production...

 

PIIDB

 

well you all might be surprised at the new acura rdx that will be out 2007

 

yeah thats the suv i was talking about. the rdx suv
